Hello,

when I sync with the IRMC plugin, the plugin returns UTC times, but it
acceps times in the local time zone (given by the Sunbird plugin). That
means, when I create an appointment in Sunbird, it is properly shown on
the device. But when I create an appointment in the device, Sunbird will
show it a hour later.

Is there a convention which timezones the interface should use? Should
times already be converted to UTC or to local time? Shouldn't it be a
requirement that plugins behave at least symmetric (that is the time
zone for import should be the same as for export)? Or is this really a
problem with the phone?


there is no convetion which timezone to use. The timezone information _should_ be send in the vevent object along with the calendar information itself. I guess that the entry sent from the pda does not have this timezone information and is therefore put into a (false) default timezone.

Could you show me the vcal object as it is sent from the device?
